PNG only. Up to 10 files, 20 MB each. Processed in your browser — never uploaded.

    JPG files are usually much smaller than PNG files for photos and screenshots. The trade-off: JPG is lossy, so fine detail can soften slightly at low quality, and transparent areas are filled with the background color you pick.

    How to convert PNG to JPG

    Drop your PNG files on the tool above and press “Convert to JPG”. Each file is converted in your browser and you get a download link for the JPG version. Nothing is uploaded.

    Why convert at all?

    PNG files are often far bigger than they need to be. PNG is lossless, which is great for logos and screenshots with sharp edges — but for photos it stores far more data than the eye can see. A 3 MB PNG photo often becomes a 300 KB JPG at quality 0.92, with no visible difference. That matters for websites, emails, and anywhere with a file-size limit.

    What changes in the conversion

    Two things change: the file gets lossy, and transparency disappears. JPG compression discards fine detail the eye barely notices — at quality 0.92 this is essentially invisible, at 0.70 you may see softness in busy areas. And JPG has no alpha channel, so transparent areas are filled with the background color you pick (white by default). If your PNG is a logo with a transparent background, the JPG will have a solid background instead — for logos, keep the PNG.

    When to keep PNG

    Keep PNG for logos, icons, line art, and anything with transparency. JPG's compression blurs sharp edges, so text and thin lines look worse in JPG than in PNG. Also keep PNG for images you plan to edit again: every JPG save loses a little quality, while PNG saves are lossless. Convert to JPG for photos, screenshots, and finished images that just need to be small.

    Choosing a quality setting

    Quality 0.92 is the safe default. It keeps nearly all detail while still cutting most PNG photos to a tenth of their size. Drop to 0.85 for web use, or 0.70 for thumbnails and previews. The result panel shows the exact size saving for each file, so you can judge for yourself.
